Surveys

We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.

Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.

Help people know more about this route by volunteering to submit a survey.

A good country walk between two villages on the edge of larger towns. Both ends are served well by public transport and shopping.

Starting in Rainford, we're soon on a footpath by the church. Running alongside sportsfields and then the edge of a farm field, we soon meet the A570, where we cross (there is no crossing, so care is needed). Ahead, a series of farm tracks (muddy in places) past Mossborough Hall until we meet the Coach Road, which is wooded and mostly tarmac.

Eventually, along another track to Woodside Farm. Crossing the road beyond, footpaths across a series of fields. Past Watery Lane Farm, along the track alongside Windle Brook (not an official path, but in regular use). Eventually we cross the A580 (there's crossing points in the dual carriageway barriers), and a muddy track beyond. This brings us to the playing fields, where we join the road and end near the library.

A good walk, albeit muddy in places, but mostly in countryside. Probably foot only; although there are no stiles or gates along the way, it does use a lot of muddy farm tracks, with a couple of footbridges and barriers.
